I look at things from both sides of the coin because I'm playing both sides.speaking practically, your question doesn't have a right or wrong answer. 

Someone that already has a great rapport, track record with the bank...my coin. 

Or like @Rich Weese , you just strategically place your properties around the countr(ies) so you get all the best seasons and everything you like ;)By the way Rich, I traded an old truck of mine that couldn't pass smog for a coin-op washer and dryer on the deal I finished in July of this year.

Naturally, you'll pass the best tenant-buyer candidates to your mortgage guy and let him tell you who he can get a loan for the fastest.On the other side of the coin, if you have a seller who doesn't care about the loan staying in their name, they just want OUT, and the house payment has a lot of cashflow each month and maybe not much equity, then you can relax a bit more and deal with a wider pool of tenant-buyers, buyers, or even renters!

Previous years revenue is not that appealing, thus I have negotiated the below for the new contract. 1) New Energy efficient machine will be installed. 2) Coin Match will collect the cost of 1 cycle per machine per day and the remaining will be paid to the owner.

At another sale a pizza shop owner paid for a property with bulk US coins as partial payment.

I understand that being a realtor you can make some decent coin for being a part of your own transactions but does being an appraiser lead a person to some other deals that might not be seen by realtors?

Pretty easy sale when they are a few weeks from losing the house, especially if there is enough equity to give them a little coin in the deal.

Hopefully you'll get some coin back from the city as well.

The other side of the coin is, the sign ups I do get most likely would convert, and I would end up wasting less time trying to convert leads that don't want to be converted. thoughts?
